Two hunts, 1st hunt nets 2 Gold, 2nd hunt nets a 1920 Buffalo Nic & 5 wheats

I was able to get out Sunday to look for the set mark of 35 Gold finds for this year. So I decided to go and visit one of my Circuit parks. One that I know produces Gold. It wasn’t long before I hit two gold child ID bracelets, not together. I spent about an hour give or take, and what a relief. Now I’m at 35 Gold finds for the year.

The 4th photo show how many bracelets I have found so far. A few are missing the ID plates because they wereused to make a ring. The bracelets that I found yesterday at marked with red pointers.

Then I decided to check out one of the circuit demos, which is what I normally do. I managed a 1920 Buffalo Nickel, 5 wheat’s, the oldest dated 1919.
The marble is in bad shape but I think it’s quite old. I’m not sure what the twisted white metal item is, it’s hollow with two holes as if it was part of a necklace, and it looks like Silver. What do you think the white metal is?

Anthony,
Looks like you had a great day of hunting.
Those are all great finds.
The white twisted metal looks like part of a steak that you would drive into the ground, I have seen some of these at parks that use them here in where I live to keep the bottom piece of fabric down. It could have been a piece that broke off. I could be totally wrong though. I have also seen that metal on little roadside reflectors that mark the entrance to a driveway.
Anyway, looks like you have had a productive day and the great white Buffalo is on my to find list .

Thanks everybody.

Are they 24K?

I think it's rude for you to ask questions in my thread and not make a comment. You do that all the time, in my threads that is. Anyway:
You won't see very much modern day 24 karat Gold jewelry, it’s too soft for that. Pure gold is softer that lead. The bracelets are 14k, which is the same as 58% pure, or the same as 14 parts pure gold to 10 parts other metal (14+10=24). Did you get it?

Hi Bull Durham and thanks. This is what the end looks like and it's very thin.

Ant,
Unbelievable amount of bracelets. Congrats to you. I've found rings, but no bracelets or necklaces yet.
Congrats on the Buff nickels too.
Is that a CW bullet I see there?
Great post,
MM

Thanks B-doo. But only one thing, that's a total of all my bracelets, not just the ones from this year. I have a total of 10.

I know you have much more Gold than me. Because when I grow up, I want to be just like you .
